Best music festival in Bangkok !!

11/12/2015

I think friday is my favourite day. It’s the last day of work of the week, and we’ve actually managed to change our working hours so it’s only a five-hour long day. It’s also the beginning of the weekend and I’m going to Singapore tomorrow to check out Christmas Wonderland so that’s also something to look forward to.

I’m sorry I’ve been offline the couple of days, but I was rushing through Wednesday with work to then head to 808 music festival which was quite amazing. The only downside was going there as I thought I’d save time catching the BTS all the way to Bangna. When arriving to Asoke BTS I realized I had forgotten my rabbit card at home, which is quite a crisis if you think about the lines at Asoke during the evening. I mean why doesn’t everyone just get a rabbit card, it would really ease the traffic on the BTS. Anyways… there I am lining up for about 10 minutes and the machine crashes, I then line up for the next one and right before it’s my turn the person in front of me has the machine crash on him to. By this time it was a line all the way down the stairs for the third and last machine. I couldn’t take the chance of lining up again and got a bike to the next station. Lesson learnt, never go to Asoke if you’re in a rush.

Talking about 808 the line-up was amazing, definitely one of the best line-ups in Bangkok so far. I made it just in time to see Axwell^Ingrosso, Armin Van Buuren and Jack Ü. Needless to say, I was not in shape to be writing yesterday. They made the perfect beats to dance all night long. I did make it to work though, but somehow the system broke down and we got to quit two hours earlier. Fate or what?

Pretty much the only picture I got through the night…

I’m about to get back to my books, before I head to work hopefully followed by the gym.

Singapore I’ll be seeing you tomorrow!

What are you guys up to this weekend?

Something to drool over…

It’s not a secret that I love to eat, and I do get satisfied going to a restaurant as long as the food is good and I leave there with a full stomach. With that said, it’s not often I find restaurants worth mentioning to my nearest and dearest, or restaurants that I’m a frequent visitor of. I love trying out new places, and the odds of me revisiting that restaurants are mostly up to convenience. I love steak, that’s not a secret. I love it so much it’s one of my favourite things to eat. When I used to live in Spain, it was so easy to find a nice steak place but here in Thailand not so. I do have to admit there are a lot of new delicious steak places popping up in Bangkok though, and
I’ve found a couple that I wouldn’t want to live without. Number one is Le Boeuf.

They serve a perfectly cooked steak topped with their secret sauce recipe. I swear, the sauce is so nice and salty and a perfect addition the steak. And it doesn’t stop there, you also get an unlimited serving of golden fries on the side. And I don’t even really like fries, and especially not next to my fries, but this is gold!! I normally only get one serving of fries though as we always order one platter of steak each. We made the mistake of only getting one for share the first time and it was one awkward dinner… just kidding.

So if you are looking for a delicious piece of meat for a decent price, Le boeuf the place to go, ok… now I’m hungry.

Hello Sunday

Hello lovlies <3

Yesterday was chill, managed to get some studying out of the way. Had my paper approved and everything is set for my exams. Just need some more reading happening. Yesterday we went and had Som tam at Siam Center at Som tam noir, if you haven’t eaten there yet you should. They are a chain and have shops all around Bangkok. Make sure you get their som tam with salty eggs, fried chicken, sticky rice and nam tok moo, it’s so delicious. The nam jim (spicy sauce) to dip the chicken and rice in is also sent from heaven.

So excited about the christmas lights at MBK!!

We made a little trek to MBK afterwards to find some Christmas presents for the kids in our families, and we actually managed to get something for everyone in one go, so we were pretty proud of ourselves once we were done.

After a couple of hours of shopping we decided we had deserved some treats, ooops, and Tom had read about his cheese cake place called LeTAO in Siam Paragon so we went there and picked up a cheesecake to go. It was a bit overpriced, but tasted amazing! Everyone NEEDS to try the Double Fromage. It tastes delicious, looks the delicious and feels delicious, wow. I’m including a link for you guys to go drool at pictures, as we couldn’t help ourselves and started eating already.

I’m off to IKEA to see some family now, and deliver some xmas presents to Norway. Hopefully I can find some christmas tree lights there as every place we’ve found so far only sells coloured one. Come on?!

See you guys soon <3

December markets and delicious treats

05/12/2015

The Artbox has moved to EmDistrict this month, so we have a weekend market right door all through December. We’ve never been before and was super excited to see what they had to offer. For those of you who don’t know The Artbox is a container market concept and has loads of unique shops and places to eat. We we’re positively surprised when we went there last night as they have so many good food and drinking places that we’ve never even heard of before. I loved their korean tacos, hot dogs, iced tea and sundaes. They even had a cocktail bucket place that I’m dying to go back to if we’re ever out drinking. That should happen at least one day throughout christmas. I think I’ll go to 808 festival on Wednesday, but after that I want to keep calm until my exams are over, and maybe not be out and about until New Years.

Haha… loving my Norwegian Christmas beer.

Such pretty lightings <3

Korean tacos

Awesome presentation, OK taste!

Easiest way to get her is by BTS to Phrom Phong, from then on it’s just a 2 minute walk on down towards Sukhumvit 22. It’s on the Emporium side of the road. It’s only open from Friday to Sunday. Definitely worth the visit if you’re in Bangkok!
Will I be seeing you there next weekend?

Friyay!!

Finally weekend. This week has been super productive. I’ve just finished my final assignment in cross-sectional studies- phew it was a lot of hard work. The paper was about low birth weight associated with high waist to height ratio. Lots of interesting finds but, it took me a lot of time, and I found it hard to analyze all of it. Why can’t it all be in Norwegian, haha. I can’t even imagine the time it took for the research team who went through and did the studies. Kudos to them. I’ve never understood why people do research on such boring themes, but after this I can understand how exciting it can be to find out new things they can apply for other studies as well.

I love this dress from cotton on so much. It’s a perfect fit. I swear I wanna take all my dresses in this cut and make copies and wear it all day every day. I’m also loving my fringe bag that I finally got from JJ-market.

I’ve also been working full-time this week, AND finally gotten back to the gym again. I just signed up for a new 24 h gym in Sukhumvit soi 26, yay Bangkok. Now I can finally go train after work. No excuses!

This weekend should be full with non-stop studying for my exams and maybe a trip to a market to get some christmas decorations?

Flying to Singapore on the 16th to do my exams and I can’t wait for it to be over so I can finally have some chilling times over christmas.

Anyone else being cramped up with studying for exams atm?

Great hair days

03/12/2015

A lot of people have been asking me where to get your hair extensions in Bangkok or even in Thailand. I hear horror stories about people doing it at random places and also people who go and do it for 20000 baht with a result no better than mine. I honestly think it’s a waste of money paying the same price as back home seeing there are lots of talented Thai’s that does this every day. I’ve found my favourite place to get it done and it’s Union mall. You can go on the 5 th floor in the beauty section and do it pretty much anywhere. They have tons of places there. My hair was so short after I went for a cut in August so I had to get a refill. I paid 4000 bath two ponytails of human hair. The length was 22″. I think they weigh around 100 g each so my hair was pretty heavy for a while. You will lose a bit of hair in the beginning, it’s normal.

This place is really amazing because they understand the importance of thick hair. For some reason, people only choose to put on one ponytail which I think looks really unnatural. I got mine attached with micro loops which is really good for your hair. At least for mine, it works out a lot better than the keratin as lose my own hair too when I detach it. The loops you can just pop out whenever, but you should go back and get it done by a professional.

Keep in mind that it will hurt for the first week or so!

Union mall is a bit out of the center but it is located right on the MRT Pahon Yothin and is super easy to find.

Where is your favourite go-to hair place?
